wo men shi hebe! everyone's super cute in the group; i think im probably the only hss person in a group full of cnyang scholars and business ppl.. hehe. but it was still fun. everyone always, "wahh... linguistics.. cheem seh.." while im doing the same thing: "wahh.. computer science.. simi lai eh..?" but oh well. its great to meet ppl with varying interests. that was what was beautiful about poly as well, isn't it?
was just browsing through youtube that day - i can't remember for what, but i suddenly had this inexplicable urge to watch a disney classic - sleeping beauty. wahh, you know when you watch it at kindergarten age, you get mesmerised by the magic, and the whole princess falls in love with prince idea? after watching it again at this age, you realise how great the script was. the three fairies are super funny, and it made me relive the awe i had when watching the movie the first time when i was 4 or 5. i think im gg to watch cinderella and bambi again too.
that got me thinking about shows i loved years ago, that i didnt manage to collect like my japanese dramas, so i only watched them once. things like:
1 the magical legend of the leprechauns - wah this one was super good, with randy quaid. i love leprechauns and irish accents (plus scottish accents) and loved the idea of the faeries and leprechauns being at war, and romeo and juiet style story. so magical!! but i dont know where i can watch this again - ive never seen it on dvd in singapore at all. i wonder if hallmark will ever show them again, perhaps i can email, if not ill miss it. i dont really watch hallmark shows often, only once in a while when i surf to the channel, and i get pleasantly surprised with gems like this.
2 the tenth kingdom - this is a great great miniseries by hallmark, i think anyone who's watched it will agree with me. great script; many people have put the fairytales and nursery rhymes together into one story for books and movies, and this one was one of the best. you would be just pulled along for the ride and watch the show to the end. scott cohen was damn good as Wolf.
3 rodgers and hammerstein's cinderella - you know, the one with the rainbow cast with whitney houston as fairy godmother, brandy as cinderella, this filipino guy as the prince.. the songs were really good, and cinderella is a never-fail storyline. of course at that time, i thought the prince was damn shuai lah. asian mah, must support. haha. in lower sec i think, when i watched it.
i found tenth kingdom and magical legend on amazon as a SET buy. i think i will get it. hehehe. yippee!
velda.
